If you’re a family business researcher (or just someone who's tried explaining their research to the neighbor), you know how tricky it can be to convey your work in a way that resonates. The tools you use to explain family business dynamics in the classroom, or even in journal articles, can make or break your ability to connect with students, fellow academics, or a room full of skeptical industry practitioners. But here’s the thing: Not everyone processes information the same way. Framing isn’t just about telling a story; it’s about meeting your audience where they are. Wanna give it a go?

🔍 Are you making the most of social media for your family business research? Social Media can help you connect with other academics, share your work with a broader audience, and even catch the attention of the very businesses your research is meant to help.
